You seem to be a guy who like to have fun. And since you have an FE, like I do, here's a fun way to check out your brakes.

1. Find a long open stretch of road.
2. Get going about 80+/- MPH (not to hard yet, eh? Now it gets interesting.
3. Stand on the brakes, but do so smoothly and quickly and HARD, do not just stomp them on.


Results: If you go straight ( mostly) then the fronts are locking first.
If you find yourself suddenly looking back at where you came from, then the rears are locking first.

Fun stuff, eh?

Oh, by the way, if the car strarts to shudder when you drive away, don't worry. You just need to spin out the flat spots.
